Summary:

This volume is intended to serve as a graduate-level introductory text for prospective practioners who have some basic familiarity with psychoanalytic theory. In an informal, conversational tone, the authors take a largely classical (id est, Freudian) approach, covering such topics as basic personality theory; the concepts of resistance, transference, and countertransference; and the theory and strategy of dream interpretation. . . . In addition, the authors speak of developments in psychoanalytic theory outside of the traditional, Freudian perspective; they include an entire chapter on how therapy of women can be different from that of men.

Thus, we proposed to write a book that would be accessible to the beginning therapist, would deal with the nuts-and-bolts of therapy as well as with the concepts that give a framework for the therapy, and would adhere to what we believe are sound principles: the principles of an autonomous psychotherapy (to use T. Szasz's, 1974a, apt phrase). /// In sum, this is a book on the technique of psychoanalytic therapy. /// We must also admit that this book by itself is not sufficient to teach anyone how to do psychotherapy. We expect that this book will be used concurrently with actual experience as a therapist and that its necessarily skeletal character will be fleshed out by material from the reader's practical experience.
